If I had any power at my company, I would make them bring in some board game designers to talk about writing rules. Quality system documents are such a mess and every time I read one I think about how they're just tedious, high stakes board games. I know it's tough, but it could be so much better!

America.gov launched today--a DOGE initiative to use AI to deliver public services. Child lying facedown on a frozen lake as the image accompanying the question: "How can I invest in my child's future" is just incredible. Way to go AI
Image of a child lying facedown on a froze lake.  above is the portal where you ask AI questions about government services.  the question matching this image is:  "How can I invest in my child's future?"

Stop Using Anti-NUCLEAR Language
Instead of:
"If my parents find out about this, they'll go nuclear."
"This discourse is radioactive."
"The country must avoid letting Al become a Chernobyl moment."
"I'm worried about the fallout from this decision."
Say:
"If my parents find out about this, they'll have a blowout on their offshore oil platform resulting in 4.9 million barrels of oil spilled into the Gulf of Mexico."
"This discourse is leaking up to 9% of its production in the form of methane directly into the atmosphere, leading to the greenhouse effect and contributing to the melting permafrost and the rapid warming of the Arctic."
"The country must avoid letting Al become a Benihu Colliery moment, the worst coal mining disaster in history, in which a gas and coal dust explosion resulted in 1,549 deaths."
"I'm worried about the severe acid rock drainage that might develop from this situation, requiring decades of additional monitoring and treatment and leading to long-term health effects for the nearby population."

"I thought Traffic was best experienced with one bad or drunk player at the table" I think that's true, but my favorite games of AIT 1e are like cycling sprints where everyone tries to do nothing and get their opponent to commit first, then it bursts into distinct positions and the race starts

In 1936, they published "Permanent Modern," a 14 page article introducing their idea of ideal menswear retailing. The article spared little in details. Included were elaborate floor plans and descriptions of the materials that should be used for the building and its fixtures.
The first spread for the Permanent Modern article. There's a drawing of a tall building and the first floor, which has a bunch of display cases. Sort of the like the fancy department stores in mid-century movies. Floor plans and details for the building. Floor plans and details for the building. Suggested sources of supply for materials and equipment needed to build this store.

Here’s how the New York Times describes this moment in their coverage:
At one point Mr. Trump asked attendees to raise their right hands and pledge to him that he would vote with their family and friends.
Dutifully, they did.

a missing small piece from this thread: the whole thing came full circle when, at some point, graffiti shops started selling writers tiny train car models that they could use to practice and plan for their next piece which, of course, were perfect recreations of their respective trains.

I am already seeing examples of anti-trans campaigning in Minnesota races at the local level this fall. I don’t expect them to stop there. Candidates and campaigns should be ready to navigate these and there are no shortage of experts here in Minnesota to help you. But all of us can play a role.

On the subject of pop bumpers, it's kind of interesting that this isn't the first period where designers pushed back against them. But that may have been because there were more games and more room for variation. This decline is really a change in design trends. #pinball
pop bumper count by release date, in the mid 90s there's more variation, with some games down to 0 but mostly 3, but there were more games overall, the modern decline seems to be a real decline, not just variation
